What happened: Robinson was without a helmet and did not appear to be wearing cleats during the early portion of Wednesday's session. He appeared healthy during the observation period.

Why it matters: The fifth-year option gives both sides time to negotiate beyond the upcoming season. An extension would replace his rookie-scale compensation with a longer commitment.

By the numbers: Robinson carries a $6.99 million cap charge in 2026, accounting for 2.29% of the salary cap.

What to watch: Watch whether Robinson returns to full practice and whether negotiations produce an extension before the season.
